Kareen Mallet,Co-founder of Replika Software,said,"When we founded Replika,we envisioned a future where every brand would be able to benefit from the power of social selling. After concluding commercial arrangements with several Maisons of LVMH and brands of L'Oréal,it is tremendously satisfying to see that the investment arms of two of the world's most forward-thinking companies have decided to invest in our vision. We're thrilled to have their support as we enter this phase of growth and lead the industry towards humanizing online shopping."

Replika's relationship with LVMH started in 2019 when the group discovered and selected the solution to be highlighted at the Vivatech Innovation Awards. The company was then invited to participate in LVMH's accelerator,"La Maison des Startups",at Station F and their business relationship has continued to expand ever since,with deployments in both Europe and the US. The journey with L'Oréal began when their Chief Digital Officer,Lubomira Rochet,a true advocate of Social Commerce,identified Replika out of over 1,000 startups exhibiting at Vivatech and she has continued to pave the way within the organization for brand deployments across all divisions,in countries around the world.

"The Series A financing builds on an exceptional year for Replika. We were able to rapidly grow a roster of clients across several verticals,introduced important programming and feature upgrades,while solidifying our management team with key executive appointments. We believe this funding will help us shift the current online selling paradigm,not only in the fashion and beauty industries,but in the broader healthcare,entertainment,travel and electronics industries as well," -said Corey Gottlieb,Co-founder.
